I wonder how much money the Royal Family could spend on saving the Earth. I can only half-agree with him, because our work in space is pretty important, too. A more moderate option would be to not be so enamoured with space that we continue to neglect Earth. It's a long time off, and pretty unlikely, that Earth will ever become less inhabitable than Mars. So even if we colonize Mars, it isn't really a planetary replacement for "the rest of us."
